Arrival
The students are to go immediately to the cafeteria upon arrival in the morning. Prince of Peace School is not responsible for any child on the school premises before 7:00 AM, nor after dismissal. The only exception to this is after school activities. Students are to wait quietly in the cafeteria before school. No child is permitted in the building at any time without adult supervision.
Tardiness
Any student who arrives after 8:00 AM must report to the office. A student is marked tardy until 9:00 AM. Any absence at any time of the day that is less than one hour is counted as “tardy” by the State of Kentucky. The secretary will give the tardy student a pass to be admitted to class.
Departure
No student is permitted to leave the school premises once he/she has arrived until the time of dismissal without a written note from the parent or guardian. If a student has permission to leave early, the adult must sign the student out in the office before leaving the building.
If a student is being picked up other than at dismissal, he/she must be picked up from the school office. If there is a question of a restraint court order, the paper work must be submitted to the principal to be kept on file.
Attendance
Parents should see that their child’s attendance at school has priority over all other activities. Regular attendance and promptness are vital for successful academic progress. Parental assistance on attendance also underscores the parents’ value of education.
A student who is absent from school due to illness or other legitimate reasons is responsible for any assignments missed during this time. All assignments and/or tests missed must be completed and given to the teacher in a time period determined at the discretion of the teacher.
Policy for Absenteeism
When a student is absent, his/her parent/guardian is required to call or email the secretary by 9:00 AM and state the reason for the absence.
The student must present a note upon return to the teacher stating the reason for the absence and the parent/guardian signature.
There may be serious concern whether a student will be promoted to the next grade if excessive absences occur.
Vacations
In the event that a student must be taken out of school for vacations, family trips, or other unexcused absences, the Principal and teachers involved must be informed in writing one week prior to the absence. No teacher will be required to give a student assignments prior to unexcused absence. Upon returning to school, it is the student’s responsibility to obtain the necessary make-up work and to make arrangements to make-up any tests missed within a period of one week from returning to school.
